After our long hike yesterday, well long for me not for Maruge, we woke up very early because Maruge was incredibly eager to show me a morning sunrise. He told me about a place a mile or two away from his village where the sunrise was amazingly scenic as we were walking he told me about a dream he had last night. He said that he was walking through the village to go to the bathroom when he was grabbed by soldiers and taken away and that is when he woke up, and he saw that it was almost sunrise so he woke me. I thought that dream was real eye opener to what happened during the war. by the time we had finished our small conversation we were at the spot. Wow was it ever beautiful. We sat there in complete silence for a long time, I can't tell you how long because I lost track. While we were siting there I had a long time with my thoughts or at least it felt like a long time. I realized how hard it is to live like Maruge does and how much he must love it as well as what hardships he has been through and how nice he is about all of it. As we stood up to head back to the village I looked at Maruge and smiled viewing him in a whole new way, and he smiled right back. The walk back seemed to last no time at all and our day of climbing trees cloud watching and just talking about how we feel and what was on our mind flew by and sooner than you knew my head was rested on a hard dirt floor and I couldn't have been happier.
